Job Description
Description:
Are you one of the best? Or ready to become one of the best?
We’re looking for driven, detail-oriented professionals who take pride in their craft and want to work in a fast-paced aerospace environment where precision, consistency, and pride in workmanship are the standard.
At Kadon Aerospace, we don’t just make parts — we build critical aerospace components trusted across the country. We’re an AS9100-certified, high-performance team built on craftsmanship, collaboration, and accountability.
What You’ll Do
- Set up and operate Mazak CNC lathes for aerospace components.
- Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and AS9100 documentation.
- Ensure precision, consistency, and quality across every job.
- Collaborate with production and quality teams to continuously improve setups and cycle times.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven CNC setup experience (Mazak or similar control preferred).
- Strong mechanical aptitude and a commitment to doing things right.
- The desire to be part of a team that pushes for excellence every day.
- Must be able to set up and process your own parts.
What We Offer
- Top pay for top talent. We reward experience, leadership, and skill — not just time on the clock.
- Opportunity for growth. If you have the drive and potential to become one of the best, we’ll help get you there.
- Plenty of hours. Consistent work, long-term programs, and overtime opportunities available.
- Modern equipment. Late-model Mazak lathes , multi-axis machining, and precision aerospace work.
- A team that values skill and pride. You’ll work alongside experienced machinists who set the bar high.
- Competitive wages with opportunities for growth
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance options
- 401(k) plan with company support to help you build your future
- Company-paid life insurance coverage
- Short-term and long-term disability insurance for added peace of mind
- Additional perks and benefits designed to support you both at work and at home
If you’re already one of the best — or if you’re ready to become one — we want to talk to you.
Join a team where your skill, pride, and potential are recognized and rewarded.
